Driver assistance system
The ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that
detects objects around the vehicle. The
Parking Distance Warning may be tem-
porarily limited or may not operate if
snow, rain, foreign substances, etc. get
on the sensor. You can check the detec-
tion sensor blind warning target (ultra-
sonic sensor) in the service message of
the utility information view in the cluster
display window. The Parking Distance
Warning will work normally if you
remove the contamination from the rec-
ognition sensor. Always keep it clean. If it
still does not work properly even after
you have removed the contamination,
we recommend you visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.

僅 An warning light ( ) is displayed in
the target direction if a malfunction or
ultrasonic sensor is blocked whilst the

ing. You can check it in the service
